What Did Your Grandparents and Great Grandparents Do For Ent, January 3, 2003
This review is from: Peg O' My Heart and Other Favorite Song Hits, 1912 & 1913 (Paperback)
They sang these songs. And what does it say about these songs that many of them live some 90 years later, and are used still in popular media? You Made Me Love You has always been around, but did you know the story behind the chorus? It's in the verses. In fact, you will be exposed to a cross section of Tin Pan Alley, Blues, Musical Theatre, Art Song and Broadway via a trip through this book. Snookey Ookums still connects with anyone who knows syrupy lovers, and Row Row Row will be easier to 'figure out' with the original verses to support it. You get the covers too, albeit in black and white. An added bonus: Many of these songs are on my site if you would like to sing along! So buy the book, and get your voice warmed up.
